Tracking Your Hours• Volunteer hours should accurately represent the time. For example, if a
meeting is 45 minutes:– Incorrect: 1 hour– Correct: 0.75 hour
• You may not be reimbursed for travel- however, you can track your miles on your volunteer log and use the travel rate of $0.56/mile to take tax deductions.
• If there is a guest speaker, that counts towards Continuing Education hours, not volunteer time. For example, the Master Gardener meeting is from 9:30-10:30, with a speaker from 10:30-11:15:– Incorrect: 1.25 volunteer hours– Correct: 1 volunteer hour for meeting, 0.75 hours of continuing education
• Do not enter hours for multiple dates under one submission. Example:– Incorrect: On June 12th, 27 hours of weeding demonstration garden– Correct: June 6th- 4 hours weeding demo garden; June 13th – 3 hours mulching
demo garden, etc.
